Once again showing how the republicans don't ever want to help the poor in this country.
Shame on you!
No shame on welfare recipients 75% of which neither want training nor work and live better than me when I came here
You don't know poverty outside America so you think you are poor
And I do know American "poor" very very well

FOr all of you all who want to blame the Black hispanic for all those Taxpayer dollars going to welfare..Just maybe hold onto the thought that not all of those folks are alone in this down turnoff the economy...this is the latest as of August of 2015...So feel free to blame those white folks who avail themselves of that safty-net..NOT all are "illegals" nor BLACK nor any one entity..It's just far to easy for politicians to blame them!! Put on the grownup Panties..and actually look at stats and data and FACTS!!

It's long past the time some STOP demonizing those they seem different than them solely because you have NO idea except what certain media suggests who they are or what they represent!! yikes..Start looking beyond your own little world..and stop projecting your unrealistic expectations of those who never had your accesses to educations and so many other life promoting accesses!!
Accident of birth sure does NOT avail you the RIGHT to judge those that never had such availability..so try to be humble..and walk just a block in such shoes?/ Challenge!!
ETA~~ the above includes~~ Welfare is the organized public or private social services for the assistance of disadvantaged groups. Aid could include general Welfare payments, health care through Medicaid, food stamps, special payments for pregnant women and young mothers, and federal and state housing benefits. The Welfare system in the United States began in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. Opponents of Welfare argue that it affects work incentives.
Oh Canada, your statistics did not support what you were hoping. Fail.
Since we're on the topic, 47 million people are on SNAP right now. To steal a visualization from a video I saw, imagine a soup kitchen/bread line where you have about 3 feet per person. That's a 26,705 mile soup line...that stretches more than the entire planet. That's every single day in this country.
Without the "47 million" people getting food assistance who would our agribusinesses and their investors sell their products to? Themselves? if you want an outstanding example of welfare abuse just look at our Military and their pet contractors. people welfare wastes millions but just the USAF can waste billions.
The real problem is the people welfare goes to mostly black and brown people but the military welfare goes to the predominantly white people employed by the contractors.

I agree with you. The U.S. hasn't had a federal budget since 2007...Democrats and Republicans have both had chances to set one, but neither are interested in cutting any spending. They just want to sell off the future for votes in the present. It's going to crash soon, so we'll see if people learn the lesson when the money runs out.

People will find ways to eat if snap wasn't provided. They wouldn't die in the streets. Some might even be forced to do the unimaginable and find a job.
